Many happy returns of the day to Sue & Caz. :bdaycake::bdaycake: Hope you both have a lovely day. It would have been my Nan's birthday today. Not sure how old she would be but it has to be over 100.
Lynne, congratulations on your Wedding Anniversary, enjoy your celebration when you have it. Also on your retirement, wishing you many happy years to come. :beer: Have a wonderful holiday too.
Helen and everyone else who're not well. (((HUGS)))
Thanks Sue, family now feeling better and DD enjoying her new job.
Nothing potted for the last couple of days. It's been too cold to go out and my poor purse is totally empty.
Welcome to our new potters, enjoy saving.S.P.C. 9 2016 No. 062 Banked £337.50

Morning all.
KrazyKel - welcome and good luck with your savings.
Sue - Happy Birthday, enjoy every minute.
grandmasam - is it your Birthday too (twin)?? Birthday wishes to you too if it is and also have a great day.
lynnejk - happy 5th Anniversary, enjoy your retirement and enjoy your hols. Where are you going to??
Some fantastic potting going on and 8 months to go (exactly) - we will smash last years record total and create yet another record.
Potted 4 x £1 coins and that's me over my half-way mark. See if I can get to £400 by the end of April.

It's also my last day at work as we have decided I should take early retirement. I am starting to find it a bit too much now working five out of ten every fortnight.
It seemed a good time to give my notice as only have to work this week and then away for the other three weeks anyway. So not really decided what I will do after my holidays but will worry about that when I come back and just enjoy the time away.
Have a fantastic time away and make the most of your retirement!! We spend so much time working and rushing around. Retirement is for adventures!!not very MSE but I bought myself another terrmundi pot so I can have my £1 and £2 alongside each other
Why not make it MSE, in November carefully prise the coins out rather than smashing the pot. That way you can make your pot last yearsall the details are on page 1 if you need a reminder

Yes of course!! It's savings you have made towards your pot. Congratulations on your savings so far. Let them spur you on for the rest of the year. Any be more careful with your precious pots
Happy Birthday Sue and GrandmaSam I hope you both have fantastic days!!

Still potting and no sign yet of a new sealed pot puppy to join Rosie, but i'll let you know when it arrives.:j
Having the sealed pot way of saving is addictive and I surprise myself every november at the amount that comes out of the pot, just keep potting everyone.
The contents of my SP made my dream of a hound come true! :T
